Life Writing with Melinda Tognini

(For adults)

'Don't forget—no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.’ (Charles de Lint)

Ever thought of writing stories about your life or those of an ancestor, but don’t know where to start? Or perhaps you are part way through drafting a story only to find your project has stalled. Maybe you question whether you even have a story worth sharing. Whether you’re a complete beginner or need help kickstarting a work-in progress, join Melinda Tognini as she guides you through a series of writing prompts that will help you connect with the stories you have to tell. 

Bookings are essential. Tickets are $20 each. Places are limited in this small group workshop.

Light refreshments will be available. You are encouraged to bring your own cup for tea/coffee or water.

Bookings are essential via Humanitix. 

Tuesday 21 Apr, 10am - 12pm Humanitix
